As the knowledgeable agency Associated Press has learned, Roger Federer will not start at the Australian Open in February. This was explained by his manager Tony Godsick.
“Roger decided not to play the Australian Open,” said the American. “In recent months he has made great strides with the knee and with fitness. However, after consulting with the team, he concluded that, in the long term, it would be better to wait until after the Australian Open to return. “
Godsick will now begin probing tournaments starting in late February and will put a season plan in place. Federer has not been in a serious fight since the Australian Open in January.
Tournament Director Tiley is too cheeky
The Australian Open was recently postponed from January to early February. Although this change basically played into Federer’s cards, the time was still too short. This after tournament director Craig Tiley announced the participation of the 20-time Grand Slam champion just a few weeks ago.
At the Sports Awards just before Christmas, however, Federer already let it slip that he would likely lose the race against time.
